Rewa Village is a small Amerindian community located in the North Rupununi forest in central Guyana. It is situated at the confluence of the Rewa and Rupununi rivers. Rewa is home to about 300 inhabitants, mostly from the Makushi tribe. The Rewa area is renowned for its abundance of wildlife. To make this unique resource more available to tourists, the Rewa Eco Lodge was built with a community grant provided by Conservation International. In the recent past, visiting bird enthusiasts noticed that the waters surrounding the area were teeming with giant ​Arapaima gigas,​ afishnearlyextinctthroughouttheirnatalwatersoftheAmazonbasinandCentral/South America.
